Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.
It is very unlikely for a knot or swelling still persisting after 5 years of injury and is still painful. It definitely needs a thorough evaluation.
An xray of the local area along with Biopsy may be needed to define its histological nature.
The treatment will be based upon the diagnosis made.
I suggest you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for further workup and management.
Hope this information is helpful. Good day
